Baskin Robins and Ben & Jerry Watch Out!

Last
Saturday we took a tour of the HIGH ROAD CRAFT ICE CREAM & SORBET in West
Oak Business Park in Marietta.

We had read
an article in the Marietta Daily Journal about the ice cream making company
and the fact that they make ice cream
with exotic and experimental flavors.
The article said they give tours of their operation between 10a.m. and 2
p.m. on Saturdays. We were game, as
soon as we could work it in. A week or
two went by before we could.

We found the
place in West Oak Business Park, on the Sawyer Road side. As we walked up through a window we saw a
man with ledger books and printouts all around him. He was busy.
He pointed to his right. Which we
looked right and saw a big sign pointing for tours. How did that get past us?

The tour is
in one big room with a big window overlooking huge tanks and factory looking
stuff. It reminded me of Hunt's Ice
Cream on West Atlanta Road many years ago.
In the room are two young people, a young man and young lady. One told about all the different flavors and
the healthy aspect of it and the other, a red headed young man, was
standing behind an ice cream cooler like
you might see at an ice cream store, ready to give you any sample that he
displayed. Which we took him up on.

There was
about 4 or 5 uptight freezers with all
their ice cream in various sizes on display and for sale.

Then we bought
some to eat later.

In the next
day (Sunday) Marietta Daily Journal 's
magazine, COBB LIFE was another article
about HIGH ROAD. This article was
about the owner Keith Schroeder's cook book
he just published called MAD DELICIOUS.
THE SCIENCE OF MAKING HEALTHY FOOD TASTE AMAZING. It has his picture of him with a spoon eating out of a pint of HIGH ROAD ice cream. It was the same man who on the other side of
the window pointed to the tour door.
